Now, people who read the Wall Street Journal for the fashion coverage are more rare than those who actually read Playboy for the book reviews (Opera Chic usually hides her copy of the Journal inside a Playboy magazine -- there are limits to the embarrassment one can be subjected to) but the WSJ fashion blogs rock; nevertheless, the decision to fire more or less the entire fashion staff -- days before Fashion Week -- sounds, if not downright douchy, certainly lame. On the other hand, it's not only the arts coverage that's being ruthlessly eradicated from the US print media, so at least classical music lovers shouldn't take the cuts as personally as they usually do -- the cuts look increasingly more like carpet bombing than precision strikes, unfortunately.
Anyway, pewp to the Journal for this.
